CASI Pharmaceuticals received convertible notes in a private placement totaling $20 million from ETP Global III Fund LP (a partnership controlled by Dr. Wei‑Wu He) to finance the monoclonal anti‑CD38 therapeutic CID‑103, in particular a Phase‑1 study on antibody‑mediated rejection (AMR) of kidney transplants in China and the development of a subcutaneous formulation. The notes will be issued in tranches, have a 36‑month term, carry a 12% annual interest rate and are convertible from day 91 at a price between $1 and $2 per share. CASI continues to face a strained balance sheet and a Nasdaq delisting decision, but has recently reported revenue growth and is recruiting patients for additional Phase‑1 studies. » More on de.investing.com
